We did not hold our government accountable for most of the last 50 years and look what happened. Try the same thing over and over again for 50 years expecting a different result? Why not think of doing it differently. And on this issue just get the hell out of the way and let the experts do their job.

some comments on BP's tragic Gulf oil spill -- from a poster on The Oil Drum website: theoildrum.com by treeman on May 29, 2010 - 3:25pm Permalink I posted the following on May 2nd. My fear is that I was right. "As bright and knowledgeable as the posters to this site are, and I am impressed almost daily, I don't think any of us can really get a handle on how big a deal this gulf spill is and it's ramifications for the future. I fear this is the blackest of black swan events, and it will affect much more than the gulf and atlantic coasts. The result of man's hubris and misplaced attempt to control his environment. I will send off a prayer today. I'm not thinking that this will end well."
